I've been teaching Mandarin for over 10 years, studying with students from many countries, like France, Italy, Spain, America, Brazil, Russian, Australia, and so on. We talk in Chinese and little English about culture, weather, school, hobbies, etc. Most of them study Mandarin because of work, family or travelling. We are friends, so it's very relaxing to study together:_)Just enjoy the class, speak Mandarin out confidently!
